Thursday I went to Bascom Palmer for my semi-annual checkup, and then, blurry-eyed, attended an event at the Faena Hotel. Friday I listened to Blaine Harden, my old friend and colleague from the Trenton Times, speak at Books & Books about North Korea. Saturday, Hania and I celebrated her birthday in Wynwood with dinner and an art walk. Sunday I gave my friend Bahar, visiting from Phoenix, a quick three-hour tour - Biltmore, Venetian Pool, cafecito at Versailles, Dominos Park, Ball & Chain, the murals in Wynwood - before dropping her back at her hotel in South Beach. Then I drove home and read the article in the New York Times Travel section about Little Havana.
